Cnotes Tuesday's Best Bets NCAAB - NBA - NHL !

Heat And Thunder Early Powers In NBA Standings

The Los Angeles Lakers are .500, the Dallas Mavericks have the worst record in the Western Conference, and the only team in the supposedly stout Atlantic Division that is outscoring its foes this year is the Philadelphia 76ers. It is all part of the wild NBA betting season that is just getting underway.

Today, we are taking a look at some of the teams that are hot and some that are not, and we’re taking a look at the NBA schedule in the few days ahead.

We’ll start in the Sunshine State, where the teams are on absolute fire. The Orlando Magic and Miami Heat have combined to win nine games in a row, though they are only 5-4 ATS to show for those nine games. They are both going to have some big spreads to cover this week.

The Heat, who are remarkably only 2-3 ATS despite outscoring their foes by 12.2 PPG on the campaign, have the Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers at home on Monday and Wednesday.

The Magic take on the Detroit Pistons on Monday at the Palace at Auburn Hills, and then come home to take on the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards are probably the worst team in the NBA this year, and they are certainly going to stay that way if they keep playing offense like this. John Wall is only shooting 32 percent from the field and hasn’t made a three-point basket all season long, and he is still pacing an offense that hasn’t scored more than 86 points in a game this year.

Needless to say, Washington is 0-4 SU and ATS (and 0-4 towards the 'over'), and has to deal with the Boston Celtics and the aforementioned Magic in a pair of road games on Monday and Wednesday respectively.

Out West, the four teams that were in the Western Conference Semifinals last year continue to be tremendous teases. The Oklahoma City Thunder are 5-0 SU, but they are only 1-3 ATS in their last four games. The defending NBA champs 1-4 SU with the Mavericks just a bit better versus the spread at 2-3. The Memphis Grizzlies are only 1-3 SU and ATS. And of course, the Lakers are 3-3 both SU and ATS and struggling to make headway.

This week, OKC and Big D take each other on yet again on Monday night in a game that can be seen nationally on NBA TV. To make matters worse, the Thunder have to come back home on Tuesday to face the Portland Trail Blazers, a team that is very quietly 3-1 SU and 2-1-1 ATS and is outscoring foes by 7.5 PPG.

The only team with a perfect ATS record this season is the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sure, the team is just 1-3 SU to show for its four games of work, but it is a stingy club that is playing a lot better defense this season than you would think. The T-Wolves take on the San Antonio Spurs and the Grizzlies this week, so the road ahead won’t be easy, but as seemingly is always the case, you’ll be catching a lot of points on the NBA odds in those battles.

Monday starts an intriguing week of games with Texas A&M visiting No. 7 Baylor and No. 24 Virginia at LSU. Both games are at 7:00 p.m. (ET).

Texas A&M (9-3 SU, 1-5 ATS) hasn’t gotten a cover since its opening game against Liberty. It has trouble scoring (64.8 PPG), but only allows 55.8 PPG. Baylor (13-0 SU, 4-2 ATS) is loaded with talent, scoring 77.6 PPG and allowing 58.8 PPG, The Bears are 13½-point home favorites with a total of 124½. The underdog is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings between the teams.

Virginia (12-1 SU, 6-2 ATS) is a 3-point road favorite over LSU (10-3 SU, 8-2 ATS) with a tiny total of 111½-points. This a late non-conference tilt between ACC and SEC foes. They are both heavy ‘under’ teams this year at 7-1 for Virginia and 8-2 for LSU. LSU is looking for revenge after losing 64-50 as 5 ½-point road ‘dogs last January.

Wisconsin Badgers host Spartans on Tuesday

Wisconsin (12-3 SU, 9-3 ATS) used to be one of the nation’s most feared home teams, winning 23 in a row before losing to Marquette 61-54 on December 3. A more shocking loss just came last Saturday, 72-65 as huge 17-point favorites against Iowa. The No. 11 Badgers rely a lot on 3-point shooting and a miserable 3-of-28 effort (10.7 percent) killed them against the Hawkeyes.

Wisconsin leads the nation in scoring defense (46.2 PPG). The ‘under’ is 9-3 despite going well ‘over’ the 124-point total against Iowa.

Michigan State (13-2 SU, 8-4 SU) has won 13 straight games after opening with losses against ACC powerhouses North Carolina and Duke. The schedule has been easier lately, although the Spartans did beat tough Indiana (80-65) and they are now No. 17 in the Coaches Poll after starting unranked. MSU leads the Big Ten in rebounding margin (10.5 per game) and Draymond Green and company will test the Badger big men.

Two top-25 matchups highlight Hump Day

The Big East will be in the spotlight on Wednesday when No. 13 Marquette visits No. 12 Georgetown. The Golden Eagles (12-2 SU, 3-7-1 ATS) are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven, losing two recent games at LSU (67-59) and home to Vanderbilt (74-57). They survived their conference opener yesterday against struggling Villanova, 81-77 as 10-point home favorites.

Georgetown (12-1 SU, 7-1 ATS) has won 10 straight games, although did fail to cover for the first time last Saturday, 49-40 home win over Providence as 13 ½-point favorites. The biggest win (71-68) of the year was on the road over then No. 4 Louisville on December 28.

The in-state battle between Kansas and Kansas State is always one of the best in college basketball. It will be even better Wednesday with each ranked in the top-25 and this being the Big 12 opener for both teams.

The No. 15 Indiana Hoosiers (13-1 SU) are a bettor’s dream with that 8-1 ATS mark and have gone from nice story in the Big Ten to conference contender. Five guys score in double-digits and they’re perfect at home, incredibly beating both No. 1 Kentucky and No. 2 Ohio State there. The OSU win was last Saturday (74-70), with the only loss at Michigan State (80-65) the prior game.

Michigan (12-2 SU, 6-5 ATS) has won seven straight, going 4-2 ATS in the lined games. The schedule has been pretty easy lately, opening the Big Ten with home wins over Minnesota (61-56) and Penn State (71-53). The No. 16 Wolverines lost their only true road game this year, 70-58 at Virginia back on November 29.

The ‘over’ is 8-2-1 for Michigan despite ranking seventh in the Big Ten in scoring offense (70.9 PPG) and fourth in defense (59.9 PPG). Low totals have played a big part.

While the true halfway point in the NHL season is still a few weeks away, the turn of the calendar into a new year tends to serve as a visual reminder that the playoffs are quickly approaching. The month of December treated some teams very well and saw others fall down in the standings.

The New York Rangers continue to keep pace with the Boston Bruins atop the Eastern Conference, currently holding the conference’s top seed with 50 points. The Rangers have won six of their last seven games, continuing to play great on both offense and defense; they scored at least three goals and gave up two or less in all six wins.

After getting off to a mediocre 12-12-1 start, the New Jersey Devils have gone 9-3 in their last 12 games, steadily climbing into the playoff picture. The offense has steadily improved as New Jersey has averaged 3.17 goals per game over the 12-game stretch, and the Devils are also getting it done after regulation with one win in overtime and a 3-0 record in the shootout in December.

Out West, the Chicago Blackhawks hold the top spot in the Western Conference with 52 points through 38 games. With a win over Detroit on December 30, the Blackhawks finished up the month of December an impressive 10-2-1. They’ll look to carry that momentum into the new year.

Two teams have come back from the dead out West in the Colorado Avalanche and the Los Angeles Kings. After a 5-1 start, Colorado went 8-15-1 and looked to be falling out of the Western Conference’s tight race entirely. But since December 13, the Avalanche are 8-2 with wins in seven of their last eight games. The goaltending tandem of Jean-Sebastian Giguere and Simeon Varlamov has held opponents to two goals or less in all seven of those wins.

Similarly, the Kings erased a hot start to the season (6-2-1) and fell to 14-14-4 with an ugly 8-12-3 run that ended in an 8-2 loss to Detroit on December 17. Since then, the Kings have picked up points in seven straight games (5-0-2) and are playing much more aggressively under new Head Coach Darryl Sutter. Included in the five wins were impressive wins over Chicago and Vancouver, the conference’s top two teams in the standings.

Looking at some teams that tailed off in December, the Buffalo Sabres went 4-7-3 in December and have lost eight of their last 10 games. Since starting the season 12-8-2, Edmonton has gone just 3-11-1 including losses in seven of its last eight games. Minnesota has won just one game in its last 10, going 1-6-3 over that stretch after starting the year off 20-7-3.

The surging Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings meet in Los Angeles Monday night at 10:30 p.m. (ET). Still recovering from their ugly stretches earlier in the season, points are at a premium for both of these teams trying to make the playoffs down the stretch.

Wednesday night, the Boston Bruins head to New Jersey to take on the Devils. Both teams have been playing well of late, and the Devils could make a statement with a win at home over the defending champions. Wednesday’s game starts at 7:30 p.m. (ET).

On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Flyers play host to the Chicago Blackhawks. Not only is this a great cross-conference game between two of the NHL’s top teams, but it is also a rematch of the 2009-10 Stanley Cup Final. Plenty of bad blood from that series should still remain. Thursday’s game begins at 7:00 p.m. (ET).

Missouri is off to its best start since the 1981-82 season at 13-0 and is one of only four remaining unbeaten teams in the country. The No. 6 Tigers put their perfect mark on the line when they host Oklahoma in the Big 12 Conference opener for both teams.

New coach Frank Haith is pushing all the right buttons in his first year with the program as the Tigers and No. 5 Baylor are considered the co-favorites in a fairly top-heavy Big 12. The Sooners - projected by many to finish near the bottom of the conference - have only two losses through the first two months of the season, but their most notable win is against either Arkansas or Washington State.

The Tigers certainly had to work for their 13th win of the season, a 75-68 nail-biter at Old Dominion as 8-point favorites. Marcus Denmon scored 17 of his 19 points after halftime, including a dagger 3-pointer with 61 seconds left that put Missouri ahead for good.

Denmon is third in the Big 12 at 18.7 points per game, while Kim English (15.4) is sixth and big man Ricardo Ratliffe (14.2) is eighth. The Tigers are second nationally in offense at 86.2 points.

Still, this is a lot of points for a Big 12 opener.

Pick: Sooners

Michigan State Spartans at Wisconsin Badgers (-5.5, 117)

No. 11 Michigan State attempts to remain unbeaten in Big Ten Conference play and No. 19 Wisconsin seeks to rebound from a dismal loss to Iowa when the teams meet in Madison, Wis.

The Spartans have won 13 consecutive contests and began conference play with back-to-back double-digit victories over Indiana and Nebraska. The Spartans are one of three Big Ten teams that haven’t lost in league play.

The Spartans are 2-0 in Big Ten play for the fifth consecutive season and their 13-game winning streak is the program’s longest since a 22-game string of victories during the 1998-99 season. Senior forward Draymond Green had 19 points in Saturday’s 68-55 victory over Nebraska and leads the Spartans in scoring (15.4), rebounding (9.5), steals (22) and blocked shots (19). Michigan State has 11 double-digit victories.

The Badgers had won six straight games prior to the disappointing 72-65 home loss to the Hawkeyes on Saturday. Wisconsin’s normally stingy defense had a sub-par outing while giving up a season-high point total.

Pick: Spartans
